A decade ago, Dakota Johnson stepped into the international limelight with the Fifty Shades trilogy. Since then, there has been no stopping the Hollywood starlet as she jumps through genres, indie and mainstream, with one plausible performance after another, as if it were just a piece of cake. Already armed with two movies for this year, Johnson is here to knock on your screens with the summer comedy Splitsville. Bringing a satirical take on married life with an ensemble cast, the movie is a break from the superhero-packed year.

But can fans catch this Dakota Johnson first release of 2025 on Netflix? Learn all details about Splitsville.

In Splitsville, Dakota Johnson is leading the charge, accompanied by the star cast of Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino, and Kyle Marvin. A couple of friends will be seen playing a couple stuck in a dead-end marriage, while the marriage of Johnson and Covino's characters flounders over their acceptance of an open relationship. But sadly, Netflix users cannot catch it there, as the movie is set for a theatrical release on August 22, 2025. And before Splitsville makes it to the theaters, it is scheduled for an honorable screening at the ongoing prestigious Cannes Film Festival on May 19, 2025.

Giving a take on domestic married life, the movie will take you far away from what is traditional and is directed by the star, Michael Angelo Covino, who also co-wrote the screenplay with castmate Kyle Marvin. It also stars Prince Rodney, Jessika Mathurin, and others. Written by the male leads and under the umbrella of Neon and Topic Studios, the movie is also a story-oriented money move for its cast.

This upcoming Dakota Johnson flick not only shows the various shades of marriage among the young stars but is also set to earn them some serious bank credits besides acting fees.

In the movie, Ashley, played by Adria Arjona, is unsatisfied in her marriage and asks for a split from her husband, Carey, portrayed by Kyle Marvin. In shock, he seeks help from friends, Julie and Paul, played by Dakota Johnson and Michael Angelo Covino. Learning that their secret to a happy married life is an open marriage, Carey follows an unexplored path to create more chaos. Besides the executive producers, Paul Barbeau and Adam Paulsen, the lead stars, except Arjona, are also attached to the movie as producers, showing their belief in the story.

This is the first time this particular group of stars is coming together, with Arjona already a known face for Hit Man and 6 Underground, and international star Dakota Johnson bringing in much attention. Johnson, who was last seen in Madame Web, which unfortunately tanked at the box office, is also ready for another release, Materialists, on June 13, before this release. And after that rom-com arrives, fans can enjoy this one in theaters in August.
